Georgia football: Why leadership isn’t a concern in 2018

I’ve seen and spoke to some Georgia football fans recently who are concerned about the leadership on this team. Can the team rally around a strong group of upperclassmen, like last year, and produce a championship season?

I get it, upperclassmen leadership is valuable. And the leadership Georgia had last year was phenomenal. Starting with the guys who didn’t have to return; Nick Chubb, Sony Michel, Lorenzo Carter, Davin Bellamy and Dominick Sanders.

Other leaders stepped up as well; Roquan Smith had a season good enough to finish in the top-10 in Heisman voting; Javon Wims went from JUCO to the NFL thanks to a great senior year in Athens.
